How to Use

To use light tester WITHOUT ground probe

For Fence:

Touch the top of the tester to the electrified fence you wish to test.

Push the button (if applicable).

The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.

For Energizer:

Turn off energizer.

Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.

Turn on energizer.

Touch the top of the tester onto the top of the fence terminal on the energizer.

Push the button (if applicable).

The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.

To use light tester WITH ground probe

For Fence:

Insert the probe of the tester into the soil.

Remove your hand from the metal portion of the probe (to avoid a shock).

To get a voltage reading, touch the metal clip (on the top of the tester) to the electrified fence you wish to test.

The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.

Remove the tester from the fence and the probe from the soil. Do not remove the probe by pulling the insulated wire.

For Energizer:

Turn off energizer.

Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.

Turn on energizer.

Touch probe from tester to ground terminal on energizer (be sure to hold onto the insulated wire and not the metal probe!)

At same time touch the fence hook on tester to fence terminal on energizer.

The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.

Benefits

Versatile, can be used as a plug-in energizer or as a battery energizer. Adapts from one style to the other in a few seconds. Can be moved around easily. Low cost.

This 1 joule unit automatically adjusts battery draw down by as much as 67% if the fence isn’t touching green weeds or shorted out (e.g. 1 or 2 strand horse, cattle, anti-deer fences; also most fences during the winter or when grass is dormant). The need to recharge a battery is therefore much less in these seasons or situations.

Installation

To use the energizer as a battery unit:

Attach wiring harness to energizer.

Attach the bare end of the wire with the red clip to the fence terminal of the energizer. Attach the red alligator clip to the fence.

Attach the bare end of the wire with the black clip to the ground terminal of the energizer. Attach black alligator clip to the ground rod.

Connect the energizer to the battery.

Insert battery adapter into the unit.
Attach red alligator clip from the adapter to the red “+” terminal of the battery.

Attach black alligator clip from the adapter to the black “–” terminal of the battery.

To use the energizer as a plug-in unit:

It can be mounted either inside or outside of a building, but not where there is risk of fire. The energizer must be mounted vertically. Protect the energizer from direct rainfall.

Connect an insulated cable (stripped back 1 - 2" on ends) to the fence terminal on energizer, run the cable to the fence line and connect, or use the positive part of the Wiring Harness.

Then run a second length of cable from the ground terminal (with ends stripped again) on the energizer to the ground rod, or use the negative part of the Wiring Harness.

Secure to ground rod(s) with a clamp.

Plug into outlet and test fence.

Unit indicator light should flash and a tic-tac sound will be heard. If the indicator light doesn't flash, then the unit should be serviced.

Troubleshooting

To determine if the fault is with the fence or the energizer...

Test the energizer first

Turn off energizer.

Disconnect ground wire and the fence wire.

Turn energizer back on.

With fence tester, put the ground probe (or clamp) to the ground terminal on the energizer and the metal loop (or positive clamp) at the top of the tester to the fence/positive terminal. The reading you get tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables. If there is a very low voltage (under 4000v) or no voltage, then the energizer may have a problem. If the voltage is high (greater than 4000v) then the trouble lies with your fence. Most energizers put out between 5000v and 8000v when there is no load (i.e. no fence hooked up).

If the energizer is faulty and you're using the energizer as a 110 volt plug-in unit ...

Check that the 110v outlet is "live" by using a plug-in drill or test light.

If the test light works and the energizer does not, call Premier.

If the energizer is faulty and you are using the energizer as a battery unit you need to learn if the battery or the energizer is the problem…

If it's a 12 volt energizer carry the unit to a nearby vehicle and attach the input cords carefully to the vehicle's battery.

If the energizer now works, then your fencer's battery needs to be recharged or replaced.

If the energizer does not work, then you should call Premier re. repairs.

If the fence is at fault, then you must find the fault(s) and fix them. Here's how to start this process:If you have a Fault Finder you can simply touch the fence with the Fault Finder at various points along the electric fence(s). The Fault Finder will tell you at each point which direction to go in to locate the problem. Move in that direction testing as you go and you will arrive at the problem.

If you lack a Fault Finder…

Walk or drive along the fence looking for any point in which the energized wires touch the soil, a steel post or a steel wire. On HT wire fences, check the wires at braces to see if they are touching a hot wire. On netting, look for a hot wire touching the metal stake at the bottom of the plastic posts. Also look for damaged insulators.

If the fence can be separated into several parts (by switches or by disconnecting parts of it), you can locate the problem by beginning at the far end and then progressively turn off or disconnect the sections of fence. When the voltage on the remaining fence rises sharply, you've located the section(s) that's causing the problems.

The alternative to (2.) is to begin at the fencer and progressively turn on sections of the fence. When the voltage suddenly drops you can assume that the problem is in the section most recently connected.

Precautions

Make sure the energizer is unplugged before working on the fence or the energizer.

If used with a 12v deep cycle battery, there is no case to protect the battery, so the battery will be exposed to the elements and risk of theft.

To Reduce Risk & Liability

Never place your head or upper spine near an electrified wire. Accidental head or neck contact can occur when pushing a voltage probe into the soil. Be careful when doing so to avoid head-to-wire contact!

Never attempt to step over or climb through an energized fence of any kind.

Never encourage anyone to touch an electric fence.

I haven't had my fence charger for too long but it was very easy to set up and is working great. I really like the AC or DC option as well as the tester that it comes with.

I haven't had it long, but like this fence charger. I like the small size and greater power than the one I had before. The customer service was excellent. I had questions so I phoned and got the detailed information I sought. I like that the light changes color from green to red when there is a problem with grounding out somewhere.

About Conductivity

Conductivity measures the amount of electrical current a material can carry. The opposite measure is known as resistance.

Many of Premier’s nets feature a green and white superconductor that has both stainless steel and tinned copper filaments for optimal conductivity. These “premium” nets are 10 times more conductive (38 ohms per 1000') than our “basic” nets. This enables the electric pulse to travel much farther and be less affected by weed contact.

We do not recommended the basic nets listed below for fences exceeding 500 ft in length:

Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen one of these or their farmstore equivalents. Why do we offer them? Because they are similar in design and conductivity (380 ohms) to nets from our competitors—and comparisons make decisions easier.

Types of Line Posts

Line posts are built into the net. Three options are available.*

Single Spike (SS)The best choice, unless your soils are always soft or very hard.

Double Spike (DS)Posts allow you to push in the spikes with your foot. When soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove.

Drivable Posts (DP)Allows use of a mallet or dead blow hammer for installing posts in dry, hard or rocky soil. Features a “spike stop” for extra support and internal fiberglass ribs for added strength.

Tip: To insert a line post into frozen or hard soil, use a power tool to drill pilot holes.

* Not all fences have all line post options.

About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets

Is your area dry?

Conventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. However, not all areas have the required moisture.

To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection.

How it works…

In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit.

Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation.

* Not all fences have Pos/Neg options.

Line Post Spacing

“Plus” nets—6'8" spacings between built-in line posts*

Standard nets—10' or 12' spacings between built-in line posts*

* Spacings are approximate. Distance between built-in line posts may vary by product.

Essential Energizer Advice

Buy a larger energizer than necessary. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output.
